At the gym by 06:00 for some strength work on the core and legs. This has made such a big difference over the past couple of months... I haven't really done much weight training during the "season" over the past couple of year, and I wasn't sure how this was going to work out. It has been awesome. Legs feel great, and, this will all be a huge benefit when I am in the "hike a bike" sections of Tour Divide.

Woke up a little high this morning at a 195 (indication of decent post ride nutrition last night), but finished my workout at a picture perfect 106.

Slugged through another day at the desk... and prep'd for a 17:30 ride by setting a tmp basal of 60% an hour earlier.

Put in a great ride of approx 2hrs on the Superfly in 85F temps. Not kidding. Sorry. :)

Nutrition was a little better today, as I took in a full custom mix 20oz bottle and a performance based protein bar during the ride.

BG at ride end was 95 right before 20:00. Dealt a 3.5u post ride bolus to deal with the normal post ride BG spike that I always encounter.

BGs ran in the 79-121 range for the rest of the evening, and went to bed with a post ride over night temp basal of 85% of normal.
